This necklace is a modern interpretation of the embroidered elements found in the Cossack officers' attire from the XVII-XVIII centuries. It reflects the opulence and sophistication of Ukrainian urban nobility during a time when Russian imperial policy sought to diminish Ukrainian culture, portraying it as simple, pastoral, and archaic.
The design features hand-painted ceramic flowers that bloom with vibrancy, while silver stitches elegantly weave together the past and the future, transmitting profound Ukrainian cultural codes to the world. Each piece is crafted using a unique technique, ensuring that every necklace has its own distinct shape, size, and color—truly one-of-a-kind.
The Cossacks, self-governing military units that emerged in the steppes of Eastern Europe since the XV century, played a crucial role in defending Ukrainian lands and preserving cultural identity. This necklace not only honors their heritage but also celebrates the resilience and richness of Ukrainian art and history.
